\Header{grid.place}{Place an Object within a Frame}
\keyword{dplot}{grid.place}
\begin{Description}\relax
This function provides a simpler interface to the \code{grid.pack()}
function.  This can be used to place objects within the existing
rows and columns of a frame layout.  You lose the ability to
add new rows and columns and you lose the ability to affect the
heights and widths of the rows and columns, \emph{but} you avoid
some of the speed penalty of dealing with frames without having
to specify a complicated combination of arguments to \code{grid.pack}.\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
grid.place(frame, grob, grob.name="", draw=TRUE, row=1, col=1)
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{frame}] An object of class \code{frame}, typically the output
from a call to \code{grid.frame}. 
\item[\code{grob}] An object of class \code{grob}.  The object to be
packed. 
\item[\code{grob.name}] The name of the grob within the frame.  This is
crucial if you intend to access the object again, for example, to
edit it.
\item[\code{draw}] A boolean indicating whether the output should be updated. 
\item[\code{row}] Which row to add the object to.  Must be between 1 and
the-number-of-rows-currently-in-the-frame. 
\item[\code{col}] Which col to add the object to.  Must be between 1 and
the-number-of-cols-currently-in-the-frame.
